Select the correct answer below:
The function f(x) is continuous.
The right limit exists. Therefore, the function is continuous.
The left limit exists. Therefore, the function is continuous.
The function f(x) is discontinuous.
We cannot tell if the function is continuous or discontinuous.

T1.4: Let ẞ(G) be the minimum size of a vertex cover, a(G) be the maximum size of an
independent set and m(G) = |E(G)|.
(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The
neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least
one end in a vertex cover.
(ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you
may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.
